Black Sabbath calling it quits

“No, it really, really is the end of Sabbath on this tour. I’m not saying I won’t ever get on stage with Geezer or Tony or any of them again, but officially, as Sabbath, we’re done, and I’ll go back to doing my own thing,” he said.

“We were gonna do one (another album) before the tour, but it would take three or four years to write and record an album, by which time I’ll be 73 or 72 or something, so we decided just to do a farewell tour,” he added.

The band’s farewell tour kicks off next January. Black Sabbath have won two Grammy Awards for Best Metal Performance and were ranked as the “Greatest Metal Band” of all time by MTV.
